Product Description:

The FC-202P5K5T2131X8253 is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 202 AQUA Drives series. In pumping and aeration stations, it modulates induction motor speed so that flow or pressure follows real-time load conditions, improving energy use and limiting hydraulic shock. By converting three-phase 200–240 VAC mains power into a controlled output waveform, the unit provides an effective control layer between plant PLCs and the motors that circulate or treat water in industrial automation. This speed regulation also allows pumping systems to respond gradually to changes in process demand rather than relying only on mechanical throttling.

The drive draws a continuous input current of 22.0 A and delivers 24.2 A at the output terminals. Its motor output power is rated at 5.5 kW. Under nominal conditions, the drive reaches an efficiency of 0.96, with an estimated 310 W of heat requiring removal from the installation area. For process flexibility, carrier control permits a maximum output frequency of 590 Hz, while phase imbalance remains within 3.0% to help prevent uneven stator heating. Motor cable runs may extend up to 150 m with shielding or 300 m without shielding while remaining within the drive limits. Normal operation is maintained at ambient temperatures up to 50 °C, allowing the unit to function in many enclosed industrial control panels when adequate ventilation is provided.

Installation altitude can reach 1000 m without derating, so surface-level treatment plants do not require additional cooling provisions based on elevation alone. The drive starts loaded pumps with a torque reserve of 110% for 1 minute, helping lift the water column when impellers encounter increased resistance. Power quality remains high because the displacement power factor is greater than 0.98, which minimizes reactive demand on upstream transformers and distribution equipment. A maximum pre-fuse rating of 63 A limits fault energy and supports coordination with upstream protection devices. The three-phase input arrangement is suitable for common industrial pumping systems supplied from 200–240 VAC distribution networks.
